Resources, Information, and Support

Airport Sponsor Resource Center

The demands and responsibilities of an airport sponsor are as great as the need to have the information and resources to ensure your success.

The Virginia Department of Aviation’s mission is to promote and advance aviation in the Commonwealth. That mission includes providing support, guidance, and expertise to our sponsors.

Developed specifically for the needs of airport sponsors and managers, the Sponsor Resource Center provides you with pertinent information so you can be sure your airport meets and exceeds current and future needs.  

Airport Program Manual

The Virginia Department of Aviation’s Airport Program Manual provides information on state aviation funding programs, including information on eligible projects, state participation, and processes from project request submission to reimbursement. The manual contains policies of the Virginia Aviation Board and the administrative processes DOAV uses to implement policy. The manual also provides information on the state’s General Aviation Airport Voluntary Security Certification Program and the licensing of public-use airports.

Anyone may make suggestions for policy change by submitting a Proposal for Airport Program Manual Change form to DOAV.
